How it works

One router, three strategies, an AI gate

Most bots force a single indicator onto every market. This one starts by asking a different question on each closed candle: what kind of market is this right now? Then it uses the strategy built for that regime.

1. Volatility gate

Before anything else, an ATR-based filter checks that the market is neither dead-quiet nor wildly volatile. Outside a sensible band, the bot simply waits — no trade is better than a bad trade.

2. Regime detection (ADX)

The bot measures trend strength with ADX and classifies the market into one of three regimes, then routes to a matching strategy:

Weighted Golden Cross

Choppy market (low ADX)

Three EMA pairs vote with increasing weight. Requires several stacks to agree before firing, which filters whipsaws in range-bound conditions.

MACD momentum

Trending market (mid ADX)

Enters in the direction of a developing trend when MACD, its signal line and histogram momentum line up — capturing the body of the move, not the late entry.

Bollinger %B band-walk

Strong trend (high ADX)

Strong trends ride the outer band. %B near the edge plus a sloping middle band signals continuation, so the bot joins the move instead of fading it.

3. The AI confirmation gate

A mechanical signal alone isn't enough. The candidate direction is sent to an AI directional check, and the trade only proceeds when the AI agrees and its confidence clears a threshold. When several pairs fire at once, the bot takes the single highest-conviction one. The result is a selective bot that sits on its hands far more often than it trades.

4. Position sizing & the ladder

Every trade targets 20 pips, with a tighter stop set by the challenge's risk-to-reward. Lot size is computed so that a win advances the account exactly one rung up a 30-level compounding ladder. Lose ground, and the bot can step back down a level — keeping the math honest rather than pretending nothing happened.

5. Risk guards, always on

A hard drawdown halt, a rolling win-rate guard, a per-pair spread filter, a trading-session window, a once-per-day cap and weekend flattening all run in the background. If the strategy stops working, the guards pull it off the field before the account is at serious risk.

Backtesting & honesty

Because the AI gate needs an internet request, full results are validated by priming a decision cache and replaying it in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. We strongly recommend running on a demo account before going live. Backtest and simulated performance never guarantee future results.
